The De Vries van Heystplantsoen site has a strong natural character. Unlike its surroundings, it is not artificial and is a rare and powerful urban typology in Delft. It is an isolated site and its atom03: introversion is stressed by the plantation barrier on the periphery. However once inside, we experienced a variety of areas with a distinctive character, and atom03:categorized them. We understand the value of each one of these areas and want to extract and preserve their key characteristics.
Problem
By means of atom03: personal observation and atom03: interviews ,we realized that atom03: noise,caused mostly by traffic, is affecting the site. It is also obvious that the park is lacking programmatic definition, the atom03: entrances are uninviting and are not atom03: strategically placed. This results in many inhabitants, students and staff refraining from visiting the park.
STEP 1
We first have to define which areas are problematic regarding the sound levels and their effect on comfort levels. In order to obtain these results, we are doing a comfort survey and a more precise sound data analysis.
The atom03:questionnaire will have 1 main question about disturbance and comfort. People have to answer this question at 8 keypoints of the site. The results will help identify the problematic areas of the site which need manipulation.
Secondly, with the help of a TU Delft acoustics expert we are going to measure sound levels for a whole week, in specific time periods at the same 8 points.
STEP 2
After having both the qualitative and quantitative results, we will be able to cross reference them and proceed to our next step.
STEP 3
As the stingray redirects water (medium) to achieve motion, our project will simulate this dynamic behaviour by redirecting air (medium) as a manipulative element of sound levels. This is possible by simulating undulations on the surface of the ground controlling air/sound paths. As a reaction to these deformations, spaces with unique characteristics will be generated at ground and underground level. These spaces will be categorized from static / comfortable / permanent to dynamic / disturbing / temporary with intermediate states as transitional spaces.
